People Review

I have watched enough movies to dare comment that Dunkirk surpasses any other war movie ever made in history. After an exceptional list of movies delivered in the past, Nolan exceeded expectations with Dunkirk, reasons for which cannot be expressed in a short review like this, although I shall laud the most significant ones. Without a single second to waste, the audience is literally thrown into the city of Dunkirk against the backdrop of World War Two. Compared to other movies where the plot encompasses only the characters and the events, Dunkirk went one step ahead to make us witness the deplorable living conditions of the soldiers trapped on the island.
It explores themes of human behaviour, psychological conditions of soldiers and civilians alike by depicting parallel accounts of groups of men, each having their own personal mission to fulfill. The director wants the audience to experience the unfathomable fear and apprehension, coupled with feelings of distrust and indignation of hundreds of thousands of men in turmoil. The movie captures the scenario on land, sea and air simultaneously with exemplary direction and gravitas. Undoubtedly, Nolan surpassed himself in creating those conditions which enable the audience to completely immerse in the movie and get a feel of how a creative director's mind works.
I was thunderstruck by the finesse of Nolan's cerebral, non-linear story telling brilliantly meshed with the intense background music provided by the God of Background Music, Hans Zimmer. The sync was more than perfect with every scene and every minuscule of screenplay having its own background score to evoke a distinctive mood, be it gunfire, marching of soldiers or the brooding mood of characters.
Words don't suffice when it comes to reviewing the depth of this film.

The INCEPTION of Nolan's filmography started like a DOODLEBUG growing with great MOMENTum making PRESTIGious films to achieve a huge fan FOLLOWING by standing as a KNIGHT in the DARK throughout his lifetime INTERSTELLAR travel and now he creates another masterpiece in his library.
Story was maintained short and to the point and the major plus points apart from direction are the brilliant screenplay, breathtaking visuals and obviously Hans Zimmer's euphonious music
